§ Sir W. WomersleyPrecise figures are, I am afraid, not available but it is estimated that the aggregate number of cases of total blindness accepted during the past 20 years as caused by war service has amounted to about 2,000, and the number of cases of loss of one eye to about 9,000. The information asked for in the last part of the Question cannot be given.
